Galen is a true professional that displays the type of go-getter qualities that you look for in a senior account executive. I had the pleasure of working with Galen on joint sales calls, in crisis management situations and with clients and prospects during multiple conferences. His communication skills and ability to problem solve both internal and external challenges, is what separated him as one of the leaders and key performers on our team at ACTIVE
